Cleaning Panels

[Rich H]

A quick tip for anybody wanting something to clean the stainless but without the expense of 3M stainless polish, or the sticky residue left by baby oil....

Try WD40

I have been using it for sometime now and it leaves a nice even finish, doesn't attract insects, minimises finger prints and a tin goes a -long- way

So long as you dont scrub against the grain eh Rich? :lol:

Sounds like worth a try and I do love that smell...

how about WD40 as an aftershave?? ha ha

I have used the Lakeland Kitchen stainless steel cleaner as it's just as good as 3m stuff but £5 a can and it does the car 3 times.

Anything is worth a go.

What with helium filled tyres and now WD40 to get you into a slipstream, i am getting seriously left behind now.....

It makes a nice job thou, i will have to give it a go.

A can of our stainless care spray applied liberally in a cool, shaded place avec scotchbrite pad* (with the grain) and followed by mucho buffing with a soft cloth results in a magnifique finish.

And sore shoulders.

Cheeky. I can't see you leaving your car 20 minutes before you clean it again !

Lakeland stuff you just spray on, leave overnight then wipe off with paper towel job done. keep the baby oil and WD40 for other uses yes, keeping your tools clean.........
